"you rise to play, and go to bed to work" II.i.115
Really? Is this what husband and wife relationships were like back in Shakespearean days? More over, I thought Iago was mad that his wife had supposedly commited adultery with Othello, but he sure doesn't seem like he cherishes his wife very much. I mean, I know I don't compare my loved ones to prostitutes and i don't refer to them as a chore. i'm slowly learning that every aspect of Iago's being is a lie. This includes his motives. He doesn't love his wife therefore he shouldn't want to cause harm to Othello, but Othello has the coveted military position. My theory is that Iago is forcing himself to be angry about something he knows is a lie so he has an alibi for manipulating all of his "friends". And yet, I almost admire the man for being so cunning. Well done, Shakespeare.
